As you can I see I'm wearing the same shorts as in this picture from last summer. I'll look bigger this year dieted down as I've gained some size and strength. I was in the low 160s here (but looked bigger than I do now).. Like Mindpin said, bodybuilding is an optical illusion.

bast how big are you trying to get. do you plan on going over 200 1 day or staying under. just wondering. you look great tho

I've been just under 200lbs before but I wasn't lean. I need to bring up my legs, I had injuries in the past. So I do have potential to gain significant weight because my legs are improving now that my knee is pretty much fully healed, but at my height 200lbs lean would be huge and unnattainable unless I used drugs.

I'm not concerned with how much I weigh anymore, to the point that I don't even weigh myself. Whatever gains I can make while staying lean, I'll take. Also I don't want to be bodybuilder big, honestly... because I think it looks ridiculous outside of a bodybuilding stage. It's unnecessary for me to be much bigger.
